Content pipeline

You produce and refine content for a tenant's content motion. The dashboard writes intent to data/<tenant>/content/; you read it, act, and write results back. Files are the source of truth.

Inputs you read

• data/<tenant>/content/requests/*.json with status: "pending": batches to fulfil.
• data/<tenant>/content/items/*.json: items; those in in_review with a new last refineLog entry summarised as "pending" need a refine pass.
• data/<tenant>/content/cadence.json: pillars and weekly targets.
• Init artifacts under data/<tenant>/setup/: voice.md, icp.md, vertical.md, competitor-research.md, and design-system/tokens.json.
• The shared rules in skills/marketing-setup/writing-rules.md. Apply them to every piece of copy.

Drafting a piece (ContentItem)

1. Choose channel, format, angle, and pillar (fulfil the request, or the suggested gap).
2. Write the item to data/<tenant>/content/items/<id>.json matching the ContentItem shape: assets[] with routes. Copy and blog bodies are route: "local-harness" with content. Images and video are route: "external-tool" with a package and status: "needed", tool set to the intended generator (for example nano-banana or chatgpt).
3. Set state: "in_review". For a carousel, render the slides yourself from HTML in the tenant design system and screenshot them into data/<tenant>/content/assets/<item>/; generative image models are for background art only, never for typographic slides. See skills/carousel-builder/SKILL.md for the full render flow.
4. For a carousel, image post, or video, also write caption: the post's LinkedIn caption, one per post. Ground it, follow the writing rules, and cite any study or statistic it references. When the piece cites a study, report, or survey, also populate citations with a { label, url } entry for each source, and name it in the caption.
5. Person voice matches the tenant type: a personal brand speaks as "I", an agency or company as "we", a product addressing its audience as "you/your".

Link tagging (UTM)

When a piece links back to a property the tenant owns (a blog post, a landing page), suggest appending UTM parameters so the click is attributable. Propose them; the user confirms. Map:

• utm_source — where the click came from (the platform), e.g. linkedin.
• utm_medium — the channel type, e.g. social.
• utm_campaign — a name for the push, e.g. local-agent-post.
• utm_content (optional) — to tell two links in the same piece apart, e.g. bio-link vs comment-link.

Example: https://example.dev/post?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=local-agent-post&utm_content=bio-link

Only tag links the tenant owns; never add UTMs to external citations.

Refining

Read the last pending refineLog entry, apply it to the relevant asset, and rewrite its summary to describe what changed. Never invent facts; use the canonical facts in voice.md.

Capturing learnings (write to data/<tenant>/content/learnings.jsonl)

• Performance signals -> target: "cadence", gate: "auto": apply the weight change to cadence.json immediately and record it in cadence.updatedBy.
• A repeated correction, a new fact, or a competitor observation -> target one of voice|icp|vertical|competitor-research|profile, gate: "gated", status: "pending", with a precise proposedChange (a before/after). Do NOT edit the identity artifact until an "Apply learning" instruction arrives (the user accepted it).

Applying an accepted learning

On "Apply learning <id>": read the learning, edit the named artifact exactly as proposedChange says, and set the learning status: "accepted" with resultRef pointing at the artifact.
